[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1977371, member: 4191"] Carbon fiber wrapped barrels are great for backpack hunters that want to take some shots on game at longer ranges, in mountainous terrain, or any terrain where a lot of hiking is done under the weight of the gear required to sustain life, compared to the small number of shots being taken. They can reduce rifle weight, and should increase barrel stiffness. I'm not worried about them overheating, since long range hunting doesn't, or classically shouldn't, require a lot of rapid fire shooting. As long as they shoot as well as steel barrels, I'm willing to pay for them for my backpacking hunting in Alaska. The older I get, the more I value weight reduction, and the less I value money sitting is some bank account. Can't take it with you - the money that is. If they enable me to keep enjoying my hobby without hating for the rifle weight being packed around, I'm all for them. [/QUOTE]
